I wish you didn't have to contemplate moving on. teachermomtobe, eek, appendectomy! Good luck; I'm sure it will go perfectly.
AFM: IUI 2.1 was a bust, and it sucked. I knew better than to get excited, but MH was so sure that this was it that he got me really hopeful. *Warning, NB mentioned* Then, naturally, my neighbors across the street had their three-day-old grandson over to visit the afternoon that my betas came back negative, and I could hear him screaming from inside the house when got out of my car in my driveway. I went inside and lost it. That was the first time I have ugly cried about IF in front of MH and I think it scared him.
So we're starting IUI #3. I have a baseline ultrasound tomorrow, which is lucky because I'm getting on a plane four hours later and going to Houston for work until the weekend. I would have been furious if we had to skip treatment this cycle because of my trip.
QOTW: I was in love with Darren Hayes from Savage Garden when I was 13. Truly madly deeply. Ha.

AFM, I'm on CD9 of a natural cycle. I haven't been stressing out too much about TTC because we have a trip to Mexico coming up in April. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for the end of March so I can get my CD3 blood work ordered. Once I get that and our trip out of the way, I'm going to try a few more IUIs. I want do at least 3 more before we start looking at IVF. We're taking our annual trip to Oregon this Thursday so I'm super pumped about that. We spend most of our time working but we took an extra day to go out to the coast. Keeping my FX that the weather cooperates!
QOTW: My first crush was Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) from Ghostbusters. What can I say, I've always had a thing for nerds.

Is there official guidance on how long ovidrel stays in your system ? I'm googling but I just can't with the baby center and these things, it's too early without coffee.

*dirty lurker* My understanding is that it varies from person to person. This is my first cycle with a trigger and I'm testing it out on my huge stash of Wondfos. I'm 8 DPO (9 days post trigger) and I still had a faint positive today. Hoping it's gone tomorrow.

I got a positive 11/12 days after I triggered (Novarel) but I didn't test it out so I'm not sure if it was a CP or the trigger. It was super faint and gone the next day so I'm thinking it was the trigger.

When I took Ovidrel it was out by 6-7th day. I believe that part can vary from person to person From what I understand a safe bet is 14 days after
Cd3-5 is acceptable for baseline BW, right? Or would cd 5 be too late to get reliable results? I have appointment with OB on Monday and if not too late I'm going to ask for FSH & AMH. And anything else I find on the 3T blog that I haven't already checked. But all my labs were done last year so I'll prob repeat those too...
My clinic does 2-4 normally. I'm trying to remember if it was different for initial bloodwork.

Well...
First beta on Wednesday was 88 and repeat this morning was 261 so I'm officially graduating! I don't think I'm going to post on the main page since I haven't been super active lately BUT I wanted to say goodbye to this check-in. I seriously appreciate all the love and support that you've given over the months (and months). I would never have survived this long journey without this board and this site. I wish everyone the very best and hope you all kick IFs ass soon!!

Both clinics I have been to say between days 2-4. I would venture that day 5 is to far out.
